I understand if AO it wants to survive for many years to come needs new ways of bringing in revenues to make this game financially viable but has funcom even considered how these changes will affect how players spend their time when they're online. What would be left to do in this game?
For example a player levels his first character to 220 and after that he has no reason to ever level a character again with the new upcoming booster packs how will this leave other players who have no means of buying these packs with an already diminishing population. Althought I do agree these are viable if available from the Veteren store for a relatively High number of points so that a player has to have played for a number of years before being able to take this option.
VP and the Yes-Drop of OFAB how will this help the already empty Battle Stations where some of the population hope they can still find PVP. Without pvmers BS's would probly be empty already as Battle Stations are only used by the general population as the fastest way of getting VP's to get on with there farming.
Twink Pack will this include Behe/Mochs/Wrangle/Tradeskill buffs? if so are they usable in battle how can this not count as Overpowering a minority of the playerbase who are willing to pay for these items to get an advantage over others.
Discuss.

I like the idea behind it and most of the items, the only thing I have an issue with is the whole buying levels if you have a 220 already, this is a BAD idea. It will make players leave more quickly, and will ruin the fun of the game at mid level making it nearly impossible for any newer players to level at all.
There's now 50 threads about this.
Instead go voice your opinion in the already heated debate here.

i dont think buying levels should really be implemented but i can see its use.
everything else seems alright i still would rather have a easier faster PvE way to get VP instead of buying them

If they really allow people to buy levels will mean the death of game. new players and people that dont have 220s or dont want to pay for levels, will have no people to level with because of this. 1-200 ranges will be deserted....

Am I really the only one who thinks selling VP is the same as selling credits? Imagine not having to earn credits ingame because you bought VP and have all the armor/weapons/health/nano kits available at the VP booth. Seems a bit retarded to offer VP for sale. Hopefully, I'm just misreading the patch rip.
EDIT: Just read FwM...seems I am not the only one after all.

I don't think VP->creds is going to be anything people should bank on. Lots of people have amassed millions of vp on toons with nothing to do with at the current rate for nanos its 1kvp/1mil, no idea with cred prices are but I haven't seen any cred seller spam so no idea on their price but I doubt FC will make vp so cheap that it will actually enable anyone to be making profit from it. Now I don't like buyable vp for another reason, it is that BS is already dead enough if you enable even a small % of the population to bypass it, it would make buying vp from FC almost mandatory and not really gonna stand for that. Even a few weeks after BS overhaul its almost as dead as usual except for a few lvl ranges, want to buy someone from FC to actually notice.

I think this in game store is a really bad idea, its a slippery slope that can lead to the death of AO. So in just my little opinion here is what i think some of the things that should be in the store.
What should be in the in game store (IMO)
All Paid Points items, (Just get rid of all Paid Points and make all items now in game store)
More Character Slots,
Old holiday/anniversary goodies,
Full IP reset tokens,
XP Stims
Full Perk Resets (some people make mistakes rather then spend 20m in game some might like to spend real money)
What should NOT be in the In game store (IMO)
Buying Levels
Victory
right now i think no on OFAB and tokens.
What do you guys think. You make a list of your opinions of do and do nots.
How many more new threads do we really need for this when there are already multiple official threads for these complaints???
Announcement Concerning a New Anarchy Online In-Game Store
Friday with Means - November 12th, 2010 - Changes large and small
EDIT: This made a lot more sense when it was not merged into another of the similar threads.
ok ...
Where went the "we will sell only social stuff / convinience stuff and no armors / weapons" ?
In that case, I want sold in this shop :
BoC
Beta symbs
Intell symbs
AI bots
sounds fair, no ?

This post was already made, why bother with another one? And just to point out that you're wrong, then you don't get BoC, beta symbs and other stuff by sitting AFK or playing "i don't want to participate" in the BS.

You can't leech in bot-raids ? news to me.
The fact that some people exploit the fact you can leech when other do the job is not the issue here... (it's an issue, but, not related)

You can't raidbot everything, and as you may know there's few things I hated more than raidbots. The issue is that the only thing you can buy in the store is time. While everything is of course made up of time in this kind of game, then there's a difference between the kinds of time being used, and what goes on in this time. Time of course has a subjective value, and some will value one kind of time over another. I for instance do not value time spent lvling as highly as time spent raiding with orgmates.
